Big tobacco supporting the ANF

I was surprised to see that Phillip Morris is a National Premier Partner of the ANF. I am not sure when they came on board. If I had a say I would vote against this. I have not sold tobacco products since 1998 and got out because cigarettes kill people and cost our health system billions.

I respect the free will of smokers and retailers. For me, the tricks employed by tobacco companies to hook people disgust me as did their efforts to cover up the tragedy their products have caused. It is for these reasons an industry association ought not take tobacco money.
